Biography

Jack Yang is a Senior Lecturer at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in the School of Materials Science and Engineering. He obtained his Doctor of Philosophy in 2010, focusing on materials science, and has subsequently contributed to the field with significant research on the structural-property relationships in various materials. His postdoctoral experiences include working at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) and the University of Southampton, where he researched the interactions in organic and inorganic materials. Yang's research interests span across computational chemistry, particularly electron-phonon interactions, thermal, electronic, and catalytic properties of complex materials. He is dedicated to employing high-throughput simulations on supercomputers to discover new materials with desirable properties and to further integrate machine learning techniques to enhance the exploration of structure-property relationships. He is also involved in teaching courses in computational modelling at UNSW, fostering the next generation of materials scientists.
